| Didn't fit, documentation unreadable |
I don't know why, but the hard drive from my girlfriend's old Toshiba Satellite laptop couldn't quite fit into this enclosure. Perhaps because the laptop was so old, the drives were slightly larger than the current standard? So I'll give them the benefit of the doubt on the fit issue, because obviously it fit for many people. But the documentation is horrible -- practially unintelligible. A poor attempt at translation from... Chinese, perhaps? If you're tech savvy and don't need the instructions, great, but if you're not, you're out of luck. The purpose of the mystifying split USB cable is left unexplained, and there are no instructions for identifying what files need to be extracted from the enclosed CD. Not a good choice for me. |

| works okay |
The document is not very clear. The cable that comes with it has a Y-split. On my computer, only one side of the Y works. When the other side is plugged in, the drive's green light comes on, but the computer does not detect the drive's existence. I simply don't know how to use the cable, which ends goes to the computer and which end goes to drive? Is the Y-split for a second drive?
The plastic parts break easily, now I cannot sesure my disk drive inside this enclosure after a small tab broke off. Though it still works, it is not robust when carrying it around. |

| Worked Good |
I just wanted a enclosure for my spare 40 GB laptop hard disk. I bought this, it is working well.
It's sleek and looks ok. It came with a USB cable. It was easy to assemble, contains all the parts required including a screw driver.
It derives power from USB and does not have any power switch. I could format and copy files with out any issues.
Only reason i gave 4 stars is i could find some other cheaper enclosures. This is bit costly for the features it provided |
